Homemade Acid Injection System

Moved from here.
Set this system up (acid injection) a few weeks ago... works great, so far...

I eliminated the drip line buttons (emitters) and placed the clear poly tubing through a ground rod clamp (pinch valve) for flow control. I added a longer bolt to the ground rod clamp so that the bolt would reach to the bottom of the ground rod clamp. It's fast and easy to adjust and you can see debris if it gets clogged which is a quick and easy fix. Seven (7) gallon reservoir, 6:1 Water to Muriatic acid @ 1/2 gal per day (2 week).
Cheers to the OP.

Quite ingenious. Just be sure you are testing your pH and TA every few days so that they are in range.
